What do you inspire to
be when you grow up? How do you handle peer pressure? Your body is changing,
how do you handle it? Teens and YAs deal with countless questions each and
every day as they wonder through this thing called life. Self evaluation and evolving
can be a bit overwhelming especially when you’re being tackled with questions
that require answers. Yet, wouldn’t it be golden if there was a tangible good
that can be used to offer assistance...something that spoke your language? Well,
we believe that we have found that something after reading Kenny Bowyer’s Pass Protection.
An inspirational read
that was written using football to metaphorically relate the game of life and
the connection of God can be read by anyone. However, being that we are both
sport players Bowyers words spoke so loudly to us. It was as if he had taken
God’s word and broken it down so that we could understand how putting the whole
armor of God is like gearing up to play a sport. Yet, he didn’t just use
analogies and metaphors he spoke with a knowing.
“His words made me look
at the game so differently. And because he used a topic I could understand it
made his message so clear.” Morrow said.
But the question still
stands, is this book worth your time and would YA be willing to read this
novel?
“If I could, I would
give this book 10 stars! In the beginning I couldn’t wrap my mind around how
this author could possibly compare a relationship with God to football. But
after getting through the pre-season section I was in awe. There was so much I
took from this book; for example, the section on going the ‘Wrong Way.’ Bowyers
said, “In other words, people can think
they are headed Gods way only to discover that they have been going the wrong
way the whole time. The right way to go is the way Jesus says to go.” That
really spoke to me. Sometimes as a teen my direction is cloudy, but to know
that there someone I can follow…that gave me hope,” said Morrow.
Bowyers wrote something
that will stay with me forever, he said, “Even when you lose it takes a real
man to stand up and say ‘God is good.’” And it does. It was inspirational quotes
or messages such as the one mentioned above that I enabled me to be connected
too this read, said D. Woods. This book is indeed a must read! But not just for
sports players for all players who are involved in the game of life.
Well done Mr. Bowyers…well
done!
We give this book 5 out
of 5 stars
Happy reading!
